One more day until it's full!
Good 53º clear sunny morning.
Yesterday it was more humid and not so breezy. Turned on AC before noon. We
topped at 98º. It was 100º in Medford and Grants Pass.
Multiple earthquakes from 3.1 to 5.8 hit in Montana and parts
of Idaho Wednesday night. My (step) daughter-in-law Marie said the house shook

They are in Deer Lodge, which is between Butte and Missoula

items. Go to their site, order directly or go to the top of the page "Where to

This came from my neighbor down on the road.. wow~
"Last night about 10 PM we heard a car (Truck) come screaming up the road
from town. very soon we heard a horrendous crash that went on for some time.
Seems a drunk lost control slid past our place , continued to skid and flip came
to rest at neighbors on west side of road. in the process wiped out his Dodge
truck his BMW sedan and his motorhome. All 4 vehicles were in a tangled lump in
front of his house. This is just past our place to the north a few hundred feet.
The belligerent combative drunk was hauled off in the ambulance. A woman was
under the wreckage, apparently dead. She had no clothes on. ?! Both were ejected
likely without benefit of seat belts. Dave says there was investigation and
sorting out till about 4 this AM."
This was on the news but no details.
This is my road coming off the main road on the right, and just past my
road is where it curves, right in front of Dave and PJ's house. Many many
accidents here on this curve! The speed limit is 45mph, but is rarely
observed. My mailbox is down in the right corner. When I go get mail I ALWAYS
wait for the cars to pass.
When I drive on the road I always set my cruise control at 45 and it
apparently pisses off a lot of folks, as they ride on my bumper! LOL. TFB!!!
Later I took Dude to the vet's for his check up after his sedation/teeth
cleaning two weeks ago.
All looked good, even his blood tests that came back, but I had noticed a
bump on his side a few days ago. The doc took a sample out of it and said it was
an abscess. Unknown cause. So, today he goes back to the vets for sedation
(again) and the abscess removal. Poor guy. No breakfast. Animals get so upset
when their routine is interrupted!
Dinner was Sole Almondine (http://www.omahasteaks.com/product/Sole-Almondine-6-5-oz-00843?) Drizzled
with olive oil and cooked in the Air Fryer for 8 minutes at 400º and then the
leftover asparagus added with olive oil and garlic salt and cooked another 5
minutes.
Chair, wine, TV, nap!
All I know. Nuff said. Happy TGIF. Ciao.

July 7th
Chocolate Day (Like we need an excuse!)
Mmmmmm.......
Chocolate Day is the perfect opportunity to eat you favorite chocolates in
ample portions. Do you really need another excuse to over indulge with your
favorite food treat?
Chocolate is America's favorite flavor. It's the flavor of choice in
candies, ice cream, cakes, breakfast cereal, toppings, and a whole host of
desserts. Unequaled in popularity, it certainly deserves a day in it's
honor.
Did you know? Chocolate is
a vegetable. It comes from the Cacao tree found in tropical rain forests.
We don't need to tell you what to do to celebrate this day, do we? Eat
Chocolate!
May we offer these suggestions for your menu
today.......
Breakfast: Your favorite
chocolate cereal along with two or three chocolate cream-filled donuts. Wash it
down with a little hot chocolate.
Mid-morning snack: A
chocolate candy bar(with or without nuts) to hold you over and give you a boost
until lunch.
Lunch: A big tall glass of
chocolate milk is a must along with your meal. Try a piece of chocolate pie or
pudding for dessert.
Mid-Afternoon: Eat
healthy(???) with some chocolate covered raisins. This contains both vegetable
and fruit.
Dinner: If you are an
adult, sip a chocolate liqueur before dinner. Chocolate flavored coffee is a
must with dinner. Dessert is none other than chocolate cake.
Nighttime snack: Chocolate
ice cream, of
course!
